Spider diff. bushing

["Fetsch, Ralph" <Ralph.Fetsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the easiest way would be to unbolt the T-bar at the sides and
differential and swivel it down and slide it to the side. To do this put the
rear of the car on jack stands under the jacking points as high as you can get
it. Then support the axle with a jack or more jack stands. Put the weight of
the car on the jack stands under the jacking points. The higher you get the
car the more room you will have to work.

Remove both rear wheels and remove the three bolts on each side and the
differential nut. Slide it to the side and remove and replace the bushing. As
they say, assemble in reverse order.

NOTE: The spacers only fit one way, so pay attention how you slide them back
in or the holes won't match up. This is also a good time to replace the rubber
spaces between the end bushings and the T-Bar. These can be split, slipped
over the bar and glued together.

Can anyone give me a rough idea of how challenging the "T-bar" bushing that
mounts to the differential is to replace? How about degree of difficulty in
replacing the rear transmission mount? Thanks in advance,

Adam
